Huge leak of confidential documents. The Panama Papers. ใน ทั่วไป Apr 07, 2016 at 13:13

@togr I don't know why it's so hard for people to see what's right in front of them. Just look at defence spending for the last 24 months. Tells you everything you need to know. Lucky there is hope as decentralisation slowly takes hold on banking and government. If the Pirate party does take Iceland, we will have the first precedent of a technology driven true democracy. Something I'm really looking forward to.

How do you keep up to date with trading news/ events/ opinions? ใน นักเทรดมือใหม่ Apr 07, 2016 at 11:33

Forget about news. It's in the price long before it's news.

Huge leak of confidential documents. The Panama Papers. ใน ทั่วไป Apr 07, 2016 at 11:29

Why is it scandalous ? I have offshore companies and banks accounts. Not breaking any laws or even trying to avoid tax. Simply placing my assets in a safer jurisdiction than the western banking system. Read bail in's. We have years of asset confiscation ahead if not decades. If you try confiscate assets it's called theft. If a government does it, it's suddenly ok. It also makes perfect sense from an estate planning point of view, it takes about 2 year to wind up an estate and you lose up to 50% of your estate to lawyers and government taxes after spending most off your available li...

Correlations ใน นักเทรดมือใหม่ Apr 06, 2016 at 12:27

For something to be correlated you need two data sets. The correlation is one figure, sure. But you still need to compare something to something. In fx the data set is made up by 2 pairs. So to compare 1 set to another you are using four currencies.Easier way to see that in action is to open a Oanda demo account, do the trades and look at the exposure tab. MT only recently added that to their platform, but go do the trades and see what happens to exposure. The devil is in the details with fx. This is a fundamental principle of fx. It needs to be understood if you're going to trade fx.

Correlations ใน นักเทรดมือใหม่ Apr 03, 2016 at 07:03

What you are trading is one data set against another. Regardless of what the data comprises of. Wether it's a positive correlation or a negative correlation is irrelevant. What you have is a calculable relationship. A strategy for example would be to look for a break down in correlation on the short term and then trade towards the long term correlation. EurUsd vs GbpUsd for example. They're normally about 80% correlated on weekly. So lets say EurUsd goes down and GbpUsd stays flat (which is a break down in correlation) then you'd buy EurUsd and sell GbpUsd. It might go to a tempor...

mobile app that accepts an EA ใน การเขียนโปรแกรม Mar 17, 2016 at 05:29

Apparently Wine is coming to Android sometime soon, but I don't really understand why you'd want to run a EA on a phone. Simply put it in the cloud or on a server and if you really have to access it use a remote desktop. Several of those available for Android.

Drawdown Question ใน ทั่วไป Mar 15, 2016 at 17:09

Your DD is half the volatility in your equity curve. The other half being the profit. The bigger your swings the bigger your chance of a wipe out. You can't look at the DD in isolation alone. How much is it for how much gain ? If it's 20% max for 1000% annual gain no issue, if it's 20% for 20% annual gain big issue. You'll always draw down as long as you trade. The question is how much risk is your portfolio at ? And that's critical.Large draw downs severely hampers your chances of success. If you have $10 000 and lose 10% you have $9 000. If you make 10% on $9 000 you have...

Who can help me to trade? ใน ทั่วไป Jan 31, 2016 at 07:46

I can, but you only need to deposit $1 000 000 into my long lost cousins anonymous bitcoin account so we can get the other $19 000 000 out and then we can trade.

C++ vs Python ใน การเขียนโปรแกรม Jan 18, 2016 at 12:42

Then you only have one option.It's Oanda, it's the REST API with a language and operating system of your choice.You'll need a development machine, I know nothing about the Raspberry, but you'll need something that can handle the compiler of your choice. Maybe you don't even need that, I don't really know what the cloud can do but I'd imagine you could get a Linux environment to work from for next to nothing in the cloud. And if I can give you any advice. Fx is not for the poor. It will ruin your life. You need resources to do this. The rags to riches story is a myth...

C++ vs Python ใน การเขียนโปรแกรม Jan 18, 2016 at 01:05

I went Java, but I'd say as a rule of thumb if a broker offers a Java API you'll find C++ and FIX API's as well. Your better brokers will always have API's and I'd go as far as to say if you really are going to do this professionally then you have to use enterprise grade code. Can't do that in MT as you're in someone else's framework. MT is ok to get you going, but once you've cut your teeth it's time to move onto something a bit faster and more professional. Also, I don't know why you'd bother with something like Raspberry Pi, you can simply lea...

Which OS does everyone find best for performance ใน ทั่วไป Jan 06, 2016 at 07:12

LMAX is very expensive to hold over night. But they have a very good reputation and they are fast. I don't use them because of minimum trade sizes and roll over cost. You still have a minimum 1000 unit trade sizes where on O it's 1 unit.The difference in compounding is massive over time. If I can get a extra $1 in there I do. You will not believe how that ads up over a decade or so. There's also a Oanda UK branch which I trade with, FCA regulated. I don't think LMAX is any faster than Oanda though. I know a few guys who looked at LMAX and they stuck with Oanda in the end.And y...

Which OS does everyone find best for performance ใน ทั่วไป Jan 04, 2016 at 16:24

Why the need for speed mate ? Unless you're doing HFT, which you're not or you wouldn't be asking, MT on Windows is fast enough for most trading. Using JAVA and/or API's will narrow down your choice of brokers a lot. Oanda did a REST API recently which is language agnostic, can use anything you're currently using, long as you can generate htpp links via the code. I'm on Oanda's JAVA API, they also have FIX and C++ versions, it's probabaly the best in the market at the moment. I'll be migrating to REST API using JAVA eventually I guess, soon as their functio...

Which OS does everyone find best for performance ใน ทั่วไป Jan 02, 2016 at 19:39

If you're running MT you shouldn't expect speed of any kind on any OS. MT is a tractor, not a sports car. Very good for cutting your teeth on, but hardly going to set any speed records. I would use Windows for MT as it was designed for it. But any latency issues (over and above MT's built in issues) on other OS's would so small it's irrelevant. If you want speed you'll have to use an API, a proper language and the FIX protocol.

Spooky, Isn't It? ใน ทั่วไป Dec 19, 2015 at 22:09

@johnnapiranha Considering we're on a giant rock hurtling through space at 67 000 mph I think it's quite reasonable to assume the sky is always falling, mostly towards the sun, which we keep missing. Thank heavens for that or we'd be unable to trade fx and argue with strangers on the internet due to the intense heat that would be the most obvious consequence of a sky that's about to stop falling.

Who can earn 100% return a month with a DD below 50% and on a regular basis? ใน ทั่วไป Dec 09, 2015 at 12:08

The guy that's doing 100% a month doesn't need the hassle you'll bring. So don't think you'll find what you're looking for mate.

The figures are published by the brokers for the US anyway. It's not something you need to research, you can simply reference it:http://www.financemagnates.com/forex/brokers/exclusive-us-q1-2015-forex-profitability-report-more-accounts-and-profits/

Charting, Indicators and Anyone with a large sum of cash!!! ใน นักเทรดมือใหม่ Nov 11, 2015 at 02:34

We saw this in 2008. Oil crash followed by dollar strength followed by....oh dear...To me this looks just like 2008. Either way doesn't matter. We don't really have to know what's driving the moves to trade them.

Charting, Indicators and Anyone with a large sum of cash!!! ใน นักเทรดมือใหม่ Nov 11, 2015 at 01:50

The Telegraph seems to disagree with you, and so does a host of other market commentators, but that is what makes a market, different opinions. Most likely were both wrong. And that's why I said it doesn't really matter.And I've been at this 14 years. I don't know how many hours that is, but I think it should cover it. You might also want to consider the US is in fact going to negative rates like the rest of the world. There's going to be no rate hike, in my humble opinion, quite the contrary.

They don't work. Anything with volume data in it is out anyway as there are no accurate volumes in fx, all the volumes you get is your brokers tick counts. On that technicality alone half of them will give you the wrong information. Find another way. I did.
